Well, I dunno if it was *quite* an equal chance. Let's say they instigate
another Legend vote and select as hopefuls:

- 6836  V-Wing Fighter

Now, a vote it may be, but even without putting up a poll, I think I could
predict the winner among these. And I wouldn't go blaming the public in the
event that 6399 won. A contest like that is as good as rigged.

Battrax wasn't really on the same level "Legend-wise" (I don't think) as the
other sets on the list. Had they picked the Galaxy Explorer, Intergalactic
Command Base, Galaxy Commander, Message Intercept Base, etc, then there
probably would've been more of a chance of a space set winning on sheer appeal.
